Noisy, loud, brash but good microwave food and cheapest beer around. You know what you are getting and to be honest I like it.
Breakfast to die for, hide in a booth and pretend you are somewhere else....

This pub is named after a bloke who ages ago published books for children including one called Reading Made Easy. Why write a book about that? Just go to Paddington and get on almost any train or if you're not in a hurry go to one of the higher numbered platforms at Waterloo
This one is apparently a converted bed shop dating from summer 1998. At around 10:45 on a Friday morning it was busy with a fair contingent of the Spoons daytime brigade. There are two main areas the front one has the bar on the right and mostly tall tables while the rear area down some steps is quieter and has just lower tables and chairs for eating.
On the bar there were two banks of six pumps with the 2 GK Beers and Adnam's Broadside. Also were Long Man Copper Hop and Otter Bright available soon, Westerham British Bulldog, Dark Star Hophead, Caledonian Nogne O Asian Pale Ale, Marston's Old Empire, Wold Top Wold Gold, Hobgoblin and a cider. I went for the Hophead which was in pretty good nick but had a slight haze but I did spot a pint nearby that wasn't all that clear and one that was..
This is probably a slightly above average Spoons. It is GBG 2015 listed, I'm not sure on the basis of this single visit if that is justified. As the school reports would say "could do better".
